但是，这个“不折腾”怎么翻呢？据说难坏了各路翻译精英们。 3 T% S* `- x C' ]. Q- |( r+ G3 X4 \
在网上收集了几种译法：供各位参考，希望起到抛砖引玉的作用： + R( o9 A4 G+ k6 {- [7 k7 j" z* C+ M3 ~) p2 m' N% i* A

上述译法，觉得都不够准确，不够精彩，没有把“折腾”的全部意思表达出来。这里推荐一个译法，感觉比较恰当：; P2 F* X- `* U6 S! O# V
0 ~7 i: m/ g7 _: y; l: P1 J avoid self-inflicted setbacks (不折腾) * B7 v$ y0 y5 ?% |( U2 O 4 q8 o* }( W( ]3 X1 d 原因是：% y* o; M \. n1 `% ^

“self-inflicted” has the connotation of creating theunnecessarypain for one self. ! }, p6 T4 S6 N* I * C7 Y8 K$ |6 q8 n. K) q 折腾 in Hu"s speech has a strong connotation that such kindofsetback is self-seeking instead of being due to theinterferencefrom outside. ! q+ w2 e" [" I9 H " j# W5 I8 S3 r. \' j “Setback” is a much better word than “trouble”, whichanunseasoned translator would like to use in the firstinstance.“Setback” especially refers to the obstacle ordifficultyencountered in achieving a strategic goal.
